Any opinions? I'm replacing the tie rod ends and was wondering if there was something I should look out for, fcp has Karlyn, TRW and HLC, which should I go with? Help asap would be great!

Thanks guys!

Also does anyone know what the "Aftermarket" brand front wheel bearing for 850/X70 is and if it's any good. Thanks so much!!

TRW tie rod ends are the bomb.

I first used the $17 replacements and they lasted all of 15k. Then I went to TRW, both outers and inners. It's a TRW rack so they are OEM. All four tie rods now have 50k on them, still going strong. Even moved them over to the rebuilt rack when I replaced it.

Not really what i was asking,

There is a bearing on their site that says "FAG" I had assumed that was an FAG bearing, obviously.......

I was talking about the "Aftermarket" marked Bearing for 87 dollars.
